Support the Future Home of
Arizona Baseball History
Thanks to generous support and hard work, we’ve made tremendous progress on the renovation of our historic Lehi Auditorium -
home of the Arizona Baseball Museum!
Completed improvements include a new ADA-compliant ramp, ceiling abatement, roof replacement, truss reinforcement, new air conditioning units, electrical upgrades, new flooring, and fresh paint inside and out.
As we move forward, we still need your help. We’re working to pay off outstanding expenses from Phase 1 and begin Phase 2, which includes much-needed improvements to the stage area.
There are still plenty of ways to be part of this legacy project:
-
Naming opportunities are available throughout the museum.
-
Baseball nameplates and commemorative bricks for our brick courtyard are a great way to leave your mark.
-
Or simply make a donation to support this important piece of Arizona’s baseball history.
Every contribution brings us closer to opening the doors. Thank you for being part of the team.

Auditorium before renovations
Built in 1939 as part of a Depression-era WPA project, the Lehi Auditorium is a significant piece of Mesa’s past. This substantial concrete structure—along with the adjacent Lehi School—is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Even after the school closed in the 1970s, the auditorium remained a vital gathering space for the community, hosting meetings, dances, reunions, and special events. However, by the early 2000s, it was no longer considered safe for public use.
Now, through careful restoration and renewed purpose, this historic building is being brought back to life as the home of the Arizona Baseball Museum!
